In the disk-mediated accretion scenario for the formation of the most massive stars, gravitational instabilities in the disk can force it to fragment. We investigate the effects of inclination and spatial resolution on observable kinematics and stability of disks in high-mass star formation. We study a high-resolution 3D radiation-hydrodynamic simulation that leads to the fragmentation of a massive disk. Using RADMC-3D we produce 1.3 mm continuum and CH3CN line cubes at different inclinations. The model is set to different distances and synthetic observations are created for ALMA at ~80 mas resolution and NOEMA at ~0.3. The synthetic ALMA observations resolve all fragments and their kinematics well. The synthetic NOEMA observations at 800 pc (~300 au resolution) are able to resolve the fragments, while at 2000 pc (~800 au resolution) only a single slightly elongated structure is observed. The position-velocity (PV) plots show the differential rotation of material best in the edge-on views. As the observations become less resolved, the inner high-velocity components of the disk become blended with the envelope and the PV plots resemble rigid-body-like rotation. Protostellar mass estimates from PV plots of poorly resolved observations are therefore overestimated. We fit the emission of CH3CN lines and produce maps of gas temperature with values in the range of 100-300 K. Studying the Toomre stability of the disks in the resolved observations, we find Q values below the critical value for stability against gravitational collapse at the positions of the fragments and the arms connecting the fragments. For the poorly resolved observations we find low Q values in the outskirts of the disk. Therefore we are able to predict that the disk is unstable and fragmenting even in poorly resolved observations. This conclusion is true regardless of knowledge about the inclination of the disk.
Aims: We resolve the small-scale structure around the high-mass hot core region G351.77-0.54 to investigate its disk and fragmentation properties. Methods: Using ALMA at 690GHz with baselines exceeding 1.5km, we study the dense gas, dust and outflo
We present 1.05 mm ALMA observations of the deeply embedded high-mass protocluster G11.92-0.61, designed to search for low-mass cores within the accretion reservoir of the massive protostars. Our ALMA mosaic, which covers an extent of ~0.7 pc at sub-
Recent analyses of mass segregation diagnostics in star forming regions invite a comparison with the output of hydrodynamic simulations of star formation. In this work we investigate the state of mass segregation of stars (i.e. sink particles in the
Aims: We aim to understand the fragmentation as well as the disk formation, outflow generation and chemical processes during high-mass star formation on spatial scales of individual cores. Methods: Using the IRAM Northern Extended Millimeter Array
Massive clumps tend to fragment into clusters of cores and condensations, some of which form high-mass stars. In this work, we study the structure of massive clumps at different scales, analyze the fragmentation process, and investigate the possibili
